Highlights
- Sanji’s multifaceted role in the crew makes him a special member, excelling as a fighter and strategist.
- Despite initial lack of bounty, Sanji’s rewards have increased significantly, showcasing his growing infamy.
- Sanji’s final bounty is predicted to exceed 3 billion berries, placing him among the strongest in One Piece world.
The cook of the Straw Hat Pirates, Sanji is an incredibly important member of the group. Joining up with Luffy in the Baratie Arc, Sanji has since then gone on to establish himself as one of the most important members of the crew. Not only is Sanji the cook of the ship, but he is also an incredibly powerful fighter, consistently being one of Luffy’s two strongest men, alongside Zoro. Sanji’s also a brilliant strategist, quite easily being the best in the crew in this regard.
Clearly, Sanji’s role in the crew is multifaceted and this is what makes him extremely special. Of course, Sanji is a massive threat on his own to the World Government as well, and because of that, he has received many high bounties over the years. That said, his current bounty is nowhere close to what his final bounty in the series is going to be.
Sanji’s Current Bounty In One Piece
Sanji Gained Huge Infamy After Defeating Queen
Sanji was quite a unique case from the very beginning of the series. Despite being one of the main fighters of the crew, Sanji did not get a bounty immediately. In fact, this was clearly highlighted by Kaku in the Water 7 Saga, where he fought against Blueno briefly. Kaku asked his fellow CP9 member to not underestimate him just because he does not have a bounty. Kaku was easily able to tell that Sanji was one of their strongest members, and that he could challenge and match any of them in combat. This ended up being true, as in the Enies Lobby Arc, Sanji ended up defeating Jabra effortlessly, and, following the events of this arc, he received a bounty of 77 million berries.
This was Sanji’s first and last bounty before the timeskip, and he went on to carry this reward for over 2 years. It was after the timeskip of One Piece that Sanji ended up becoming a more renowned pirate. Following the events of the Dressrosa Arc, Sanji received a 100 million berry increase, despite not playing any major role in the war against Doflamingo. His total reward rose to 177 million berries. In the Whole Cake Island Arc, Sanji ended up being at the center of things, and for taking part in the plan to assassinate Big Mom, stopping her, and allowing the Straw Hat Pirates, along with others, to escape safely, Sanji was given a big bounty. His overall reward rose to 330 million berries, which was incredibly high.
An exoskeleton, muscle, speed…all of which enhance strength. Add the Color of Armament to the exoskeleton, and my legs are tougher, capable of supporting even hotter flames!
Sanji then went on to carry this reward until much later in the series, when the crew fought against Emperor Kaido. In this arc, every single Straw Hat went on to show their best skills, as did Sanji. In this arc, Sanji did many great things, but the greatest feat was certainly to defeat Queen in a resounding manner, without even unleashing his best. Sanji was rightly rewarded with a very high bounty after this War, and his current reward stands at 1.032 billion berries, which is very high. Now, Sanji stands with the elites of the One Piece world when it comes to pirates, and he is recognized as a massive threat to the World Government. Still, while this bounty is very high, Sanji’s reward can go much higher.
Sanji’s Future Opponents
Sanji Will Fight Stronger Enemies In One Piece
Right now, it can be said that Sanji is among the strongest individuals in One Piece. However, there are still many who are stronger than him, and at the same time, many others that he needs to fight and surpass. Sanji has already fought against powerful individuals in the Egghead Island Arc, and others that he clashed against, such as Admiral Kizaru. Unfortunately, a full-fledged fight between these two did not happen, but it goes without saying that at some point in the future of the series, this fight could happen. There are many other powerful enemies for Sanji to fight, such as Kizaru, and of course, any other pirate crews that Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates come up against in the future.
Sanji was born as a normal human due to his mother’s resistance. Look at his brothers and sister’s eyebrows. Everyone has “66” like Yonji. Sanji is the exact opposite. That was the battle where “the power of science” was manifested in the wake of the raid suit! Sanji originally had an abnormal resistance to “flame”. It was strange. Let’s keep watching.
There are also the Elders that will inevitably clash with Luffy at some point in the series. Once Sanji defeats these powerful enemies, his bounty will rise significantly. Come the end of the series, Sanji is inevitably going to be one of the strongest characters in One Piece.
It can easily be said that Sanji will be on the same level as the likes of the Yonko. Given that his enemies are the likes of the Admirals and the Elders, Sanji will have to significantly level up, both in terms of power and skill. His final bounty in One Piece is going to be very high, likely over double what he currently possesses.
Sanji’s Final Bounty In One Piece
Sanji’s Final Bounty Will Be In The 3 Billions
Currently, Sanji holds the bounty of 1.032 billion berries. However, this bounty is not reflective of his true level of strength. For example, Sanji was able to defeat Queen, who carries a bounty of 1.320 billion berries, quite easily. Of course, it is a known fact that bounty is not a true reflection of strength. Still, based on his strength, one can easily say that Sanji is a bigger threat than Queen to the World Government and that he deserves a reward that is much higher. Taking everything into consideration and the untapped potential that Sanji still carries, fans can expect his bounty to cross 3 billion berries. 3 is a very symbolic number for Sanji, given that he is number three himself. The name Sanji literally means 3:00, and he has always carried the number three both in his Germa family, as well as the Straw Hat Pirates.
Sanji’s Bounty will most definitely cross 3 billion berries, and if one had to guess, a proper bounty number for him would be 3.320 billion. This will put him in the same league as the strongest and the most formidable pirates of One Piece, such as the Emperors. This would also put Sanji very close to Zoro, whose bounty is likely going to go past that of Mihawk by a slight margin. Sanji and Zoro would be incredibly close in terms of bounty, power, as well as skill come the end of One Piece, and that is a parallel that Oda is willing to carry out right until the end.
As to when Sanji will gain this bounty, the best guess that one could have is after the Straw Hat Pirates reach the Final Island, Laugh Tale, and uncover the secrets of the world. By that point, a Great War will be brewing and Sanji will be ready to face his enemies at his best level.
